Can Werther's originals go bad? ›

Werther's hard candies contain sugar, cream and butter as some of their ingredients, so that's why they are given a shelf life/best buy date. If you only ate one, you should be alright.

These caramels contain Isomalt, a common ingredient found in most Sugar Free candies, and you will find this same laxative warning printed on most Sugar Free candy products. There is not a defined amount of candy that can be consumed before you will feel any ill effects & some consumers do not have any side effects.

Absolutely! Werther's Original Soft Crème and Chewy Caramels are ideal for baking. You can also use Soft Éclair Caramels for that caramel chocolate flavour profile. Just melt on medium low heat, add a little milk or cream until you get the consistency you want.

Be careful of overconsuming Sugar Free Werther's, as studies have found that people who consume more than 20 g of isomalt in a day are more likely to experience gastrointestinal distress, such as flatulence and diarrhea.

To serve, melt the 4 Werther's Original Chewy Caramels for about 30 seconds in a bowl in the microwave and swirl them on the insides of 2 glasses, leaning the glass to let it drip around the sides. Add ice.

Reheat low and slow: If your caramel sauce has seized up with the butter/cream additions or still has crystalized sugar at the end of making it, place it on the saucepan on low heat for a good 15-20 minutes. This usually clears up most of my issues and results in a melted, smooth sauce.
